Summerfield Zoo is hosting 8 FUN-FILLED weeks of summer camp for campers ages 6 -12! Every week the campers will learn about zookeeping, the animals that call the zoo home, have game and craft time, and special interactions with specific animals. Each week’s enrollment is limited! Please reserve your child's spot NOW!! Each week the following interactions will be included: baby goat feedings, pictures with an animal ambassador and animal presentations. During the course of each summer day camp week the camp participants will learn about feeding, care, and enrichment (toys and games for the animals). Some of the activities include making animal enrichment projects and treats for the animals, animal scavenger hunts, animal themed games and crafts and creating toys for the animals. Participants will be allowed to do some (age-appropriate and safe) chores that zookeepers do every day, such as feeding and cleaning.
